The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 6.18%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $45802 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $5600 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $40202 million. $40202 million / 564 million outstanding shares is approximately $71 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $57/share.
Scenario 2
All else being equal and assuming the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 8% per year, then after the next 5 years, no growth in FCF or 0% growth per year forever:
